Figure Structural and microstructural brain changes on magnetic resonance imaging. Left on the image corresponds to right in the brain. (A) Lacunar infarct (arrow) on T1-weighted image. (B) White matter lesions (arrow) on fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) image. (C) Cerebral microbleed (arrow) on T2*-weighted image. (D) Tissue segmentation with each tissue type represented in a different gray value (darkest gray = cerebrospinal fluid, gray = gray matter, light gray = normal-appearing white matter, white = white matter lesion). (E) Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) map of fractional anisotropy with larger values indicating larger anisotropy. (F) DTI map of mean diffusivity with larger values indicating larger diffusivity.
